Eric Chalker

Eric retired from running his business in 2001 and that's when he became an investor in equities, to supplement his pension. Having become increasingly angry at the way private shareholders were being treated in the crisis year of 2008, Eric joined the board of the UK Shareholders' Association in 2009 to help do something about it. He has been successively administration director, policy co-ordinator and, until the 2016 AGM, policy director, contributing significantly throughout to much of UKSA's published material and numerous policy initiatives.
